Howard Mayer Brown microfilm # ___
Scope and Content
Howard Mayer Brown (1930 1993), leading medieval and renaissance musicologist,
most recently ofthe University ofChicago, directed considerable resources to the
microfilming ofearly music sources. This collection ofmanuscripts and printed works in
1700 microfilms covers the thirteenth through nineteenth centuries, with the bulk treating
the Medieval, Renaissance, and early Baroque period (before 1700). It includes medieval
chants, renaissance lute tablature, Venetian madrigals, medieval French chansons, French
Renaissance songs, sixteenth to seventeenth century Italian madrigals, eighteenth century
opera libretti, copies ofopera manuscripts, fifteenth century missals, books ofhours,
graduals, and selected theatrical works.
I
Organization
The collection is organized according to the microfilm listing Brown compiled, and is not
formally cataloged. Entries vary in detail; some include RISM numbers which can be
used to find a complete description ofthe work, other works are identified only by the
library and shelf mark, and still others will require going to the microfilm reel for proper
identification. There are a few microfilm reel numbers which are not included in this
listing.
Brown's microfilm collection guide can be divided roughly into the following categories

This is the extensive checklist which Howard Mayer Brown kept for his extensive
collection ofmicrofilm. The Newberry Library has kept his numbering system and
maintains the collection iunong its other microfiJms. Although at first somewhat
daunting, we think that specialists will find this list easy.to use and we put it among our
reference works here so that there can be access to the films themselves until some future
time when they may be otherwise cataloged.
